| الوصف: | Introduction: There are several concerns associated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) treatment for central precocious puberty (CPP), such as obesity and changes in body mass index (BMI). We aimed to investigate whether any anthropometric differences exist and if they persist over time. Methods: We conducted an observational study of Portuguese children (both sexes) diagnosed with CPP between January 2000 and December 2017, using a digital platform, in order to analyze the influence of GnRHa treatment on BMI-SD score (BMI-SDS). Results: Of the 241 patients diagnosed with CPP, we assessed 92 patients (8% boys) in this study. At baseline, 39% of the patients were overweight. BMI-SDS increased with treatment for girls but then diminished 1 year after stopping GnRHa therapy (p = 0.018). BMI-SDS variation at the end of treatment was negatively correlated with BMI-SDS at baseline (p < 0.001). Boys grew taller and faster during treatment than did girls (p < 0.001), and therefore, their BMI-SDS trajectory might be different. Conclusions: This study showed an increase of body weight gain during GnRHa treatment only in girls, which reversed just 1 year after stopping treatment. The overall gain in BMI-SDS with treatment is associated with baseline BMI-SDS. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion |
